## Resource

Nebraska football’s legendary walk-on tradition gets a deep dive as the Common Fan Podcast crew debates the top four walk-ons in program history—no easy task. With help from a longtime sportswriter, they revisit icons like I.M. Hipp and Jared Tomich, but the final two spots ignite fierce debate. These unsung heroes, drafted by grit not scholarships, rose to All-American, pro careers, and even defined eras. The Mount Rushmore? Jared Tomich, I.M. Hipp, Langston Coleman (whose story launched the tradition), and Joel Makovicka. If you love underdog stories and gritty legacies, this episode’s for you—and they want your picks too.
